The Dept of Homeland Security has revoked the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification for Harvard University, thereby essentially cancelling their ability to enroll foreign students into the school.  Harvard was notified of the status and the letter shared by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

The notification comes the day after Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American woman (a young couple about to be engaged), were gunned down at the Capital Jewish Museum around 9:15 p.m. Wednesday. The suspect Elias Rodriguez, 31 of Chicago, repeatedly yelled, “Free Palestine” when he was arrested.

President Donald Trump’s appointed lead investigator on the DOJ Weaponization Working Group, Ed Martin, appears on a podcast with Mark Halperin to discuss ongoing events around the Trump administration.  Ed Martin is also in charge of the DOJ pardon review and assembly within Main Justice.

Ed Martin was asked by Halprin about the use of the autopen to give presidential pardons during the final months of the Biden administration, against the recent confirmations that Joe Biden was severely cognitively impaired.  Did Joe Biden even know who was getting pardons issued via the use of the autopen writing his signature?

Ed Martin answers by outlining his own questions that he sent via letters to former White House officials.  WATCH (prompted):

Ed Martin notes that Ron Klain, Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer were the gatekeepers within the Biden White House, deciding who would ultimately be allowed to engage within the inner circle.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Put this into two files. (1) The confirmation file that it’s “always about the money;” and (2) The ‘things that make other things’ suddenly make sense file.  Also, I wouldn’t suggest doing much with this, other than making a mental note for y’all deep weeds walkers; after all, we are not much fun at partisan parties when we don’t pretend the corruption gig is one-sided.

Readers here will know well that since the beginning of this year I have asked what’s going on with conservative media and this sudden pro-Qatar stuff they’ve been pushing. [Tucker example and more here]

Well, apparently long before the White House announced a historic ‘first ever’ trip to Qatar, the Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani began telling their lobbyists in DC to reach out to conservative media influencers with lucrative payments to shape a favorable pro-Qatar narrative.

[STORY HERE] “Tucker Carlson was far from Qatar’s only target in its quest to influence conservative media. Established right-of-center outlets like Fox News Digital, Just The News, the New York Post, the Daily Mail, and the Washington Examiner were all targeted to varying degrees by Qatari foreign agents in the months following Trump’s election, records show.”

Things certainly make a lot more sense now.   As the saying goes, “it tracks.”

That said, if Qatar had a media strategy to enhance a foreign policy agenda with the Trump administration, well, that wouldn’t be a surprise; it’s just how things are done.  However, in the background of the puzzling question about how those decades of conservatives correctly calling out Qatar for corruption, and then suddenly overnight changing direction, well, it appears the Qataris just paid them to change.

THEM: ‘Right’ is whatever I’m paid to support.  ‘Wrong” is whatever makes me the most money.

CTH: Right is right even if nobody does it, and wrong is wrong even if everybody does it.

Capiche?

Earlier today President Trump used the Oval Office and the visit by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to call out the horrific violence taking place against white Afrikaner farmers.  The moment in the oval office was the biggest international spotlight every placed on the issue.  Major kudos to President Trump.

President Trump showed Cyril Ramaphosa a video of political activists within South Africa calling for the murder of white farmers, and then later video showing thousands of white crosses erected to call attention to the issue.  Every element of media’s cultural Marxist army has been denying the atrocities while using political correctness as both a cover and justification for the slaughter.   President Trump put a spotlight on years of international lying, Ramaphosa, did not know what to say.  WATCH (prompted):

To give you an example of the DC media gaslighting, consider this phrase extracted from Politico as they attempt to deny what President Trump was outlining:

…”Additionally, the president’s claims of land seizures are exaggerated. While Ramaphosa signed a law earlier this year laying out circumstances in which the state can seize land for public purposes, most landowners are compensated.”… (link)

Land seizures are “exaggerated” because “landowners are compensated.” Can media even hear themselves, or read the typeset they use?

The farmers do not want to sell their land.  The farmers do not want to be “compensated.”   The compensation is irrelevant in the review of seizure.  The forced taking of the land, with or without compensation, is the seizure.

The murder of the white farmers is the issue, not “how many” of them are murdered.

Perhaps it is because I understand the journey Shawn Ryan is traveling, but this is an interesting conversation.  Tucker Carlson sits down with Shawn Ryan who is about 5 years into his journey looking at the political landscape and questioning all of his previous assumptions.

I have long described the DC political machine as a Potemkin village, essentially a stage where the politicians are actors playing roles.  In the back of the stage the real decisions are made, and the performance is intended to give the illusion of democracy.  The performance is real, but there’s a script and the results are pre-scripted.  When Ryan says, “it’s all fake” he appears to be hitting on this theme, albeit in a newer stage of realization.

The voting audience wants to see certain things, the actors (politicians) want to deliver those things, but the producers and the directors have other ideas.  The influence and motive about money really are at the core of every performance. It’s a long interview but does have some value as many of the thoughts expressed by Ryan will likely affirm your own personal journey.  WATCH:

Once more into the breach dear friends.  Today I’m traveling quickly back to DC and will check in later tonight.

For seven straight minutes Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat and listened to criminal alien apologist Chris Van Hollen blast him for enforcing immigration laws, supporting MAGA foreign policy and revoking the guest visas for criminal protestors on college campuses.  Van Hollen was trying to blast Rubio and fundraise from his far-left communist constituents.  Rubio listened respectfully.

Then came the moment, “may I respond” asked Rubio, and within the response Senator Van Hollen completely lost his cool, shouted angrily at Rubio despite being told his time has expired, and was forced to listen to Senator Rubio inform him that yes, Rubio not only plans to revoke the visas of the agitators, but that Rubio had just asked for an even longer list of campus protesters who were recently arrested so he could personally ensure those visas were revoked.  WATCH (prompted):

Marco has traveled a long way from his deep state chair on the SSCI.

I like Wolverine Rubio.
